#338 - The Fat Loss Mindf*ck: What No One Tells Women About Losing Weight Over 40 with Craig McDonald

We’re back on the mic! 🎙️It’s been a minute since we dropped a podcast... and not because we were sipping cocktails on the beach in Thailand (I wish 🤪). We’ve been balls deep in finishing the last bit of development for our app (so stoked it's finished and it's fucking amazing we've been getting so much great feedback from clients as well as amazing results), supporting our 28 Day Challenge ladies, and coaching the hell out of our 1-on-1 and group clients. Because at the end of the day our clients always come first.But I finally dragged Craig into another episode (after about 5 false starts and several swears 😂) because this convo is just too important to put off any longer.If you're:→ Doing everything “right” and still not losing weight→ Seeing no change on the scale and ready to give up→ Thinking your metabolism is broken→ Confused about why your body won’t change or what the hell you should be doing to see results...You need to hear this episode.We dive into:✅ Why the scale is NOT the best measure of progress✅ How to tell if you're actually losing fat or gaining muscle✅ The mindset shift you NEED to make to stop sabotaging yourself✅ What data to track if you want sustainable results after 40✅ Why you're probably under-muscled (and what to do about it)This one’s real, raw, and filled with lightbulb moments 💡RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset ChallengeLearn more about our Winatlife Coaching optionsSaturée products use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first order.Pro-Metabolic Company use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first purchase.Drop Us A Review On The Podcast + Post a screenshot on Instagram stories and Tag @kittyblomfield for your chance to win a tub of Saturée Premium CollagenReview on SpotifyFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldCraig McDonald @iamcraigmcdonaldAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

#336 - What Women Over 40 Aren’t Being Told About Hormone Replacement Therapy with Jay Feldman

Thinking about HRT?Before you jump on the hormone train, especially if you’re in your 40s or 50s, PLEASE listen to this episode first.I recorded this with Jay Feldman (@jfwellness), and it’s hands down one of the most important convos I’ve had around perimenopause, menopause, and hormone therapy.Here’s what we cover (that most doctors aren’t telling you):⚠️ Why it’s progesterone, not estrogen, that crashes first⚠️ How estrogen “works” by suppressing symptoms like cortisol but at a long-term cost⚠️ The real risks of taking estrogen-only or synthetic HRT⚠️ Why testosterone therapy can backfire by converting into more estrogen⚠️ How estrogen impacts your thyroid, metabolism, and fat loss⚠️ Why progesterone (used properly) can be game-changing — but only if your foundations are in placeAnd most importantly how you can support your body naturally before considering hormone therapy.If you’re under eating, under nourished, sleeping 5 hours a night, stressed, running yourself into the ground, chugging wine on the weekend… no amount of HRT is going to fix what’s actually going on.Start with nourishment. With light. With rest. With blood sugar balance. With building muscle and getting active. Work on the foundations first!Then and only then should you consider hormone therapy.RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset ChallengeLearn more about our Winatlife Coaching optionsSaturée products use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first order.Drop Us A Review On The Podcast + Post a screenshot on Instagram stories and Tag @kittyblomfield for your chance to win a tub of Saturée Premium CollagenReview on SpotifyFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldJay Feldman @jfwellnessAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

HRT..But what if the problem isn’t low estrogen?What if the real issue is that your metabolism and thyroid needs support — thanks to years of under eating either intentionally through restrictive dieting or unintentionally, stress, and a body that’s been in survival mode for decades?In today’s episode, I’m joined by the amazing Kitty Martone and we go deep on:💥 Why just adding estrogen can actually make things worse💥 The misunderstood role of progesterone (and how Kitty once used 800mg+ a day 😳)💥 How stress, blood sugar crashes, and nutrient deficiencies trigger your worst symptoms💥 And why supporting your metabolism is the real key to hormonal balanceIf you’ve ever been told “just take estrogen” — or if you’re taking HRT and still feeling like shit — this one is for you.RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset ChallengeLearn more about our Winatlife Coaching optionsSaturée products use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first order.Pro-Metabolic Company use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first purchase.Drop Us A Review On The Podcast + Post a screenshot on Instagram stories and Tag @kittyblomfield for your chance to win a tub of Saturée Premium CollagenReview on SpotifyFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldKitty Martone @healthygutgirlAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

#333 - Struggling with Fat Loss, Insomnia, and Hormone Issues? This 41-Year-Old Mum Finally Found a Sustainable Solution with Isha Julka

When Isha found us, she was 41, a busy working mum, and completely burnt out from trying to “fix” her body. She was doing everything she thought she was supposed to—fasted HIIT 5–6 days a week, barely eating, and constantly chasing results that never came.Despite her efforts, she felt exhausted, anxious, and stuck in a body she didn’t recognise. Her PMS was debilitating, she couldn’t sleep, her thyroid was struggling, and her doctor had started talking about perimenopause. Even after discovering the pro-metabolic approach, she swung too far the other way—overeating, gaining weight, and reaching her highest body fat at 35%.That’s when she found us. And everything changed.We helped Isha set clear calorie and macro targets, simplified her meals with real food—like juice, fruit, sourdough, and easy-to-digest proteins—and taught her how to train for body recomposition, not just burn calories. We supported her sleep, her mindset, and her recovery so she could see results without burnout or restriction.Now? She’s dropped 13% body fat and sits around 22%. She deadlifts 100kg, sleeps through the night, her anxiety and PMS are gone, and she’s eating more food than ever—without fear. Best of all, she’s a powerful role model for her son, who now says, “Wow, Mum, you’re strong.”This isn’t just a body transformation—it’s a life transformation. If you’re where Isha was, know this: you’re not broken. You just need the right method.Listen in to hear exactly how she did it.RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset ChallengeLearn more about our Winatlife Coaching optionsSaturée products use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first order.Pro-Metabolic Company use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first purchase.Drop Us A Review On The Podcast + Post a screenshot on Instagram stories and Tag @kittyblomfield for your chance to win a tub of Saturée Premium CollagenReview on SpotifyFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldCraig McDonald @iamcraigmcdonaldAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

#332 - Muscle gain in perimenopause? Fat loss at 46? Magdalena did both - after years of struggling. Here’s what changed with Magdalena Huber

When Magdalena joined us, she thought she just needed to lose 3 kilos.She was already active, loved running, and doing her best to eat “healthy.” But the fat wasn’t budging, and her body composition didn’t reflect the effort she was putting in. Like many women over 40, she started to believe:“Maybe this is just what my body looks like now.”“Maybe I need to run more and eat less.”“The gym isn’t for me—it’s too intimidating.”But everything changed when she joined the WinAtLife program.First, she focused on building muscle. At around 35% body fat, she didn’t look overweight—but she lacked muscle. With the right plan, she started training four times a week, built real strength, and gained confidence as a complete gym beginner. Now? She’s strong as hell—and absolutely loves it.Then, she started fuelling her body like it deserved.She stopped under-eating and stressing over the scale.She began eating enough protein (yes—even raw liver!), enjoying chocolate, ice cream, and orange juice guilt-free—and finally felt peace around food.As her strength increased, so did her self-trust. She stopped letting the scale define her worth. With the right support, she learned how to track her progress through measurements, digestion, sleep, energy, and mood.Now, she’s sitting around 20% body fat.She looks leaner, feels incredible, and actually weighs more than when she started—because she’s gained muscle, lost fat, and rebuilt her metabolism.No more binge eating. No more food guilt.Just a thriving, strong woman who knows how to maintain her results for life.RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset ChallengeLearn more about our Winatlife Coaching optionsSaturée products use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first order.Pro-Metabolic Company use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first purchase.Drop Us A Review On The Podcast + Post a screenshot on Instagram stories and Tag @kittyblomfield for your chance to win a tub of Saturée Premium CollagenReview on SpotifyFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldCraig McDonald @iamcraigmcdonaldAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

#330 - Strength & Nourishment: The Foundation for Sustainable Fat Loss with Emmalee Thompson

Think eating less and training more is the only way to lose weight? Spoiler: That’s exactly why you’re stuck. Let’s break it down in this episode.I sat down with Emmalee—holistic health practitioner, former nurse, and all-around badass—to talk about how so many women are stuck in survival mode, under-eating, over-stressed, and under-muscled.  Emmalee’s story is incredible—she was diagnosed with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, put on meds that made her feel even worse, and was told there was nothing she could do. Instead of accepting that, she walked out of her doctor’s office and started healing herself through nutrition, strength training, and a pro-metabolic approach.  We dive deep into:  🔥 Why so many women are afraid to eat more (and why that’s the biggest mistake keeping them stuck)  🔥 The myth that lifting weights will make you bulky (spoiler: it’s actually your best tool for fat loss & longevity) 🔥 Why building muscle is the missing piece for women who feel ‘skinny fat’ and struggle with body composition  🔥 How data-driven coaching helps women overcome the fear of carbs, gain strength, and finally see results  🔥 Why so many women feel exhausted and out of control—and how to start feeling strong, energised, and in charge of your body again This episode is for every woman who’s tired of dieting, tired of feeling weak, and ready to finally train, eat, and live in a way that actually works long-term.RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset ChallengeLearn more about our Winatlife Coaching optionsSaturée products use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first order.Drop Us A Review On The Podcast + Post a screenshot on Instagram stories and Tag @kittyblomfield for your chance to win a tub of Saturée Premium CollagenReview on SpotifyFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldEmmalee Thompson @emmaleewakeAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
